1985 GMC Suburban review from North America
"Best 4x4 ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmition first died around 180,000.
2ed gear has been starting to slip recently.
Headlining sagging in some places.
Gas gage works sometimes and not others.
Some overheating.
General comments?
This is one solid truck!
I have put a 4in lift and 35in tires on it and it has ran great (other than the transmition going out).
I am selling it due to long commute to work (although it does get around 16 mpg) and will be sad to see it go.
My brother ownes a 2004 chevy H D and he has had more problems with his truck than I have had with mine!
